Away in a-a manger

No-o crib for a bed

The-e little Lord Jesus

Lai-aid down his sweet head

The stars in the-e bright sky

Loo-ooked down where he lay

The-e little Lord Jesus

A-asleep on the hay



The cattle are-are lowing

The-e baby awakes

Bu-ut little Lord Jesus

No-o crying he makes

I love thee, Lor-ord Jesus!

Loo-ook down from the sky

A-and stay by my side

Unti-il morning is nigh



Be near me Lo-ord Jesus

I-I ask thee to stay

Clo-ose by me forever

A-and love me I pray

Bless all the dear-ear children

I-in thy te-ender care-are

And fit us for heaven

To-oo live wi-ith thee-ee there
